You will need to use an Android emulator such as Bluestacks if you want to use Kik on a laptop computer. As a mobile application, it doesn’t have a specific format for computer use.

Provided you have an account (or make one if new), then you can use Kik Online via your browser. On the Kik.com website, go to the login page and type in your user name, then your password and click Enter. You can now use Kik. The other alternative is to find an in-browser emulator.

You'll need to install Bluestacks for Mac, then find the Kik app on Google Play and download and install it as well. Register your account (including your real phone number), then the emulator will enable you to use the Kik app on your Mac.

Question

If I have deleted Kik off my phone and reinstall it, is there a way to get my messages back?

I like to sleep

Community Answer

Unfortunately, no. Every time you log off Kik (which is done automatically during an uninstall), all your messages are cleared out. However, if someone left you a message before you logged back into Kik and after you uninstalled it, you should be able to view it.

Question

What if I don't have the Google Play Store?

I like to sleep

Community Answer

Both emulators have a Play Store built in to download from, if yours does not it may be a technical issue or your emulator is out of date. Update it, restart it, and if none of these work, contact Bluestacks' or Andyroid's support team.

Question

How do I enter my email address on Kik?

Community Answer

You have to be in the app to do this. Then either click log in if you already have an account, or sign up if you don't and follow the on-screen instructions.
